Bottle. Pours dark black with a tan head. Smell has a nice sweetness about it with rich caramel, dark roasted malts, some booze, a bit of coffee and maybe some dark ripened fruit. Taste is dark roasted malts, coffee and a bit bitter. This is not a "huge" beer in smell, thickness or taste, but really nice and the taste hides the alcohol quite well. I certainly wished there was more.

From Magnum Wines, Swindon, a pint bottle, pours with a diminishing tan head, faint aroma of milk chocolate. Taste is sweetish with little roasted caramel with a slight hop bitterness on the finish. Good but not complex enough for a beer of this strength.
